Chapter 541 Body Awareness
"A fight over the Great Dao?"

Zhang Chen looked thoughtful when he heard this. To be more precise, it should be a dispute between the great way of enlightenment and the great way of the unity of knowledge and action.

One country cannot have two masters. Similarly, there cannot be two main paths appearing at the same time within Confucianism and Taoism. This is much more cruel than fighting between people of the same path.

If it is a fight between people of the same path, what they are fighting for is the dominance of the great way of 'unity of knowledge and action', or they are fighting for the dominance of the great way of 'education'. Even if one of them fails in the future, he can be regarded as a branch of the great way, and may have the opportunity to prove his way in the future. However, once this kind of fight between different great ways begins, there will be no room for easing. One of the two sides must fall, and it must be completely eradicated without leaving any room for others.

"To be honest, this is all my fault. Otherwise, Mr. Wu would never have figured out the principle of unity of knowledge and action so quickly." Zhang Chen sighed.

However, he and Chen Sanliang were enemies at that time, and naturally they had their own ways to deal with each other. Since Han Suzhen's death, Chen Sanliang began to take the initiative to show goodwill to Zhang Chen and continued to help Zhang Chen secretly. The relationship between the two eased, and Zhang Chen naturally had to accept the favor.

So Zhang Chen sighed, his eyes full of emotion: "The world is ever-changing, it's so impermanent."

When Zhang Chen thought of this, he suddenly felt something was wrong, as if he had missed something. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Chen Sanliang, this bastard, is really insidious and vicious."

"Discussing the Dao is a goal, but if in the process of discussing the Dao, we can convert the other party's disciples and have them serve the demon clan, then it can help Chen Sanliang save a lot of effort in building the demon kingdom." Zhang Chen took a deep breath in his heart.

Chen Sanliang's plan was really ruthless! It was like killing three birds with one stone. With his cultivation in the Yangshen realm, wouldn't it be easy for him to fool those rookies of the Confucian sect?
In the Confucian school, the Yangshen realm is called a "great scholar", isn't it an exaggeration?

As for transcending the ninth level and entering the tenth level, it should include the word "saint", for example: sub-saint.

There are only three or five great Confucian scholars in the world. Their mental power can interfere with the energy flow of heaven and earth through reading. Their wisdom is even greater than that of a super brain. They can be said to have become spirits.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel worried about Chen Sanliang's calculations. Chen Sanliang's methods were so vicious. If he continued to discuss Taoism all the way, he would close all the academies in Shenzhou. By then, Confucianism in Shenzhou would surely suffer a severe blow. In this way, he would even have the opportunity to re-establish Confucianism and determine that the Confucianism of the demon race was the orthodox one in the world, and banish the Confucianism of the human race to a side branch.

Zhang Chen took a deep breath, a look of horror in his eyes: "This old guy is so calculating. My little tricks are far inferior to his. There is simply no comparison between the two."

"These old guys are too good at planning. I'm nothing but a naughty boy in front of them. This is just to hide their purpose of colluding with various princes. If Zhang Chen knew Chen Sanliang's plan and Chen Sanliang told him personally, it would be difficult for him to figure out the tricks." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, his heart full of fear.

After selling all the meat and buying some daily necessities, Zhang Chen disappeared in the city in a flash.

The family continued on their journey. Zhang Chen's days were very busy. He was busy refining the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, busy refining the alchemy furnace, busy giving birth to the towering Jianmu, and busy practicing the civil and martial arts.

As we walked along, the leaves gradually turned yellow, the weather gradually became cooler, and autumn arrived.

The autumn wind was blowing, and to Zhang Chen, the cool autumn wind was like a cold winter, as if he were wrapped in a tiger skin that he dared not tear off.

Seeing the tiger skin wrapped around Zhang Chen, Cheng Yu's eyes showed a trace of worry: "Junior brother, are you sick? Normally, the autumn wind is cool now, and ordinary people only add a layer of clothes. You shouldn't be in this situation, you..."

Facing Cheng Yu's concerns, Zhang Chen shook his head: "My body is transforming, my consciousness is awakening, and my soul is adapting to the laws of heaven and earth, preparing for the future departure of my soul. You can understand my current situation as the departure of my soul from my body."

The first stage of the spiritual path for a cultivator is to have the soul leave the body. A breeze between heaven and earth is like a thousand cuts of pain to the soul. A ray of moonlight is like an extremely cold light, and sunlight is like a blazing fire. If you are not careful, your soul will be scattered. However, Zhang Chen's immortal path is the transformation of the soul in the flesh, transforming all crises into the flesh. It should be known that the soul is the foundation of a cultivator's practice. Once the soul goes wrong, it can be said that elixirs are difficult to save. If the flesh goes wrong, it is not a big deal. Broken limbs can be regenerated, so what's the big deal?
This is the difference between the way of immortality and the way of the soul. At this time, Zhang Chen's body turned into a cauldron, and his soul turned into elixir. With the help of the laws between heaven and earth, he tempered his soul and cultivated the primordial spirit.

"You are not allowed to lie to me. If there is really a problem with your practice, just tell me and we will definitely find a way to rescue you." Xu Erniu's voice was full of seriousness.

"Of course. Don't worry, I will recover soon." Zhang Chen said, wrapped in a tiger-skin coat.

As autumn came, Zhang Chen's bumblebees fell into a deep sleep. Zhang Chen sent a few drops of daily fluid into the hive for the bumblebees to absorb, so as to prevent all of his bumblebees from dying.

In this way, the bumblebees at home can evolve in a dormant state even in winter.

The carriage rumbled on, and the demon horse was still shiny and sleek, but it was not in a good mental state. Why do you think that was?
Because the demon horse moves too fast, it will cause the vehicle to be bumpy. How can my family endure such bumps?
Especially in ancient times, such broken roads were so bumpy that they could almost kill people, so people were not allowed to run around.

The demon horse could originally travel a thousand miles a day, but now that Zhang Chen has limited its speed, it is already considered good if it can run a hundred miles a day. It's like a car that can originally run a hundred miles on the highway, but you run it at a running speed. It would be strange if the other party can have an easier time.

So the demon horse was in a depressed mental state, with its head lowered, looking at Zhang Chen aggrievedly. However, Zhang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him and just drove the carriage slowly.

Zhang Chen looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "I'm afraid that winter will arrive before we even reach the southern border. When the biting cold wind blows, my life will be even more difficult."

"I still need to think of a way to prepare things for winter ahead of time." Zhang Chen sat in the carriage and pondered, thinking of an item from later generations: "Hand warmer."

But ordinary hand warmers were not enough, as they could not take care of the whole body. After a little thought, Zhang Chen set his sights on his own alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace is an innate spiritual treasure, containing forty-eight innate restrictions. It is not afraid of being burned by the true fire of the sun. If you put the charcoal fire of the sun into the alchemy furnace and adjust the temperature of the furnace by controlling the innate restrictions, can it form a portable hand furnace?
Although Zhang Chen had never seen the power of the solar charcoal fire, he knew that it should not be underestimated. If he could accumulate a furnace of charcoal fire, he could catch the enemy off guard when he met them.

A grain of solar charcoal can burn for a very long time, at least for an ordinary person's lifespan, and it can easily burn for three to five months.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen took out the alchemy furnace from the Bashen space, turned it into the size of an ordinary hand warmer, and held it in the palm of his hand to look at it. It was strange to say that this thing was also strange. Its weight changed with its size. This hand warmer was only three or five pounds in his hand, so it was not heavy.

Zhang Chen opened the lid of the furnace and looked at the empty furnace chamber. The next moment, a peanut-sized crimson charcoal fire appeared in the palm of Zhang Chen's hand, restraining its power and not leaking out even a little bit.

Zhang Chen put the charcoal into the stove, looked at it for a moment, and then said, "It should be able to hold more than twenty pieces of charcoal."

Zhang Chen carefully closed the lid. If the solar charcoal fire leaked out, it would definitely cause a horrible natural disaster and who knows how much trouble it would cause.

The human blood force also needs to be restored. It will take him about half a day to summon twenty pieces of charcoal to fill the furnace.

However, how long the charcoal fire can burn in the stove is something he has to estimate himself in his future life.

Zhang Chen stroked the alchemy furnace with his fingers, infusing it with magic power. He mobilized the innate restrictions within the furnace and began to control the temperature of the furnace, making sure that the furnace was neither too hot nor too cold, so as not to ignite his clothes and still keep him warm.

Zhang Chen carefully sensed the changes in the alchemy furnace, and after an hour he finally had a measure in his mind. He found that as the solar charcoal fire fell into the alchemy furnace, the alchemy furnace actually began to absorb the power of the solar charcoal fire, converting the power of the solar charcoal fire into kinetic energy to supply its innate restrictions for operation.

Zhang Chen's magic power is used to repair the innate restrictions of the alchemy furnace, and the power of the sun's true fire provides the operating power for the alchemy furnace.

"The alchemy furnace is originally driven by flames and is used for alchemy. The true fire of the sun is essentially a kind of flame. However, the alchemy furnace can actually automatically absorb the true fire of the sun to maintain the operation of the restriction, which is beyond my expectation." Zhang Chen added charcoal fuel to the alchemy furnace while thinking, piling a piece of newly born solar charcoal into it.

However, due to the innate restrictions, the heat in the alchemy furnace was completely blocked, and not a single bit of the horrible heat was released.

The carriage passed slowly. Zhang Chen held the alchemy furnace with a satisfied look on his face. He sat in front of the carriage with a smile on his face. All the cold wind that blew within three feet of him was melted by the heat from the alchemy furnace.

"Why is it so hot around you?" Cheng Yu turned his head to look at Zhang Chen with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Zhang Chen patted his own furnace and said, "This is the little furnace I made."

After a day of walking, there were already more than a dozen pieces of charcoal in the furnace. The charcoal was piled up together, bright red, with no sign of going out. Terrifying streams of scorching air were flowing through it, making people tremble with fear.
